"This is just what we do — we are not an animal sanctuary. We give the pigs the best opportunity and the best life they could have for six months.”

"They won't be kept inside; they are outdoors and fed with organic food which is grown on the farm."

The Pewsey Fire Station posted the story on Facebook and thanked Rivers for dropping off the sausages.

"Huge thank you to Rachel Rivers for dropping them off for us to sample. Highly recommended by Pewsey fire station crew and if any one of our followers is having a bank holiday BBQ this weekend then check out these sausages, they are fantastic."
